We sure love taking Paws In The House out to different schools. The past two Fridays, Stan Lee and his “staff” went to both Griffith Elementary and Piney Grove Elementary to teach children about the responsibilities of having pets, how to properly introduce yourself to pets, and then, playing with a pup who loves to play fetch! We had a blast and thank Imprints Cares for helping us bring our program to their afterschool programs!

Happy Friday to all of our followers and supporters. We are always busy here especially more so around the end of the year. We have lots of things in the works and we hope you will support us in any way you can.

Keep an eye on our page and website for the upcoming events we have in store. What better way to bring in the weekend and falling back an hour on Sunday. How about you “Fall” in love with Roscoe.

Meet Roscoe:
Roscoe had been wandering a neighborhood for a few weeks in the small town of Rural Hall, NC, very skittish and unsure of his surroundings eventually made his rounds through the neighborhood. A few good samaritans tried to help him to no avail. After those few weeks a determined Jack set out to lure Roscoe into their fenced in yard. Well…patience and his diligence paid off as he was able to pull it off. This sweet young couple took Roscoe in and gave him a safe place to eat and sleep while they searched for his owners. After their due diligence and posting on social media sites.. sadly no owner came forward leading us to believe he was likely dumped.
One of our board members went out to scan for a microchip and unfortunately there was not one. The couple was already falling in love with him…This was the dog Jack had dreamed of and had been wanting. Sometimes as fate would have it… they find us when we aren’t even looking and that’s what Roscoe did. This awesome couple decided they wanted to adopt Roscoe as their own and make him part of their family. This absolutely warms our heart when situations allow an animal to avoid going to the shelter. We know not all situations will allow this but we are ecstatic when it can. This is also where our RICO and Fix Forsyth funds come in handy because it allows us to help those who weren’t necessarily looking for a pet but that pet found them. We love when we can help support our community. Roscoe has continued to thrive in his new home with Mareena and Jack and has some smaller human brothers he gets to watch over too. Thanks to our donors and supporters we were able to get Roscoe vetted and neutered on Wednesday. He is recovering well and has a clean bill of health. If we can help the community by providing resources to help owners to keep their pets or in this case help with the unexpected one that comes along, then we are fulfilling our mission one pet at a time.

Following the destruction of Tropical Storm Helene, we asked you to help us raise funds to help two Western Carolina rescues who lost their sacred structures and equipment. What they did not lose was HOPE and COMMITMENT. Thank you to our generous FFNC donors, we were able to send each, Esther Neonatal Kitten Alliance and Sweet Bear Rescue Farm, a check or requested supplies that exceeded $500.00 for both to return to their heroic work in saving animals. We understand the role of smaller rescues who followed their hearts to provide vital services in animal welfare. Please feel free to follow and cheer them on them at www.kittenalliance.org and www.kindnessempire.com.
Thank you again for helping us make a difference!

We had a great time at our microchip and vaccine clinic that was held by Humane Solution . If you don’t already, please follow their page for up to date events. Go check out their page for information on the annual Blessing of the Animals event being held today off Griffith Road in Winston Salem.
At their last clinic, we distributed over 200lbs of cat food and dog food to those in need. We are thankful to be able to partner with Humane Solution so that not only can these pets receive important vaccines, but have full bellies as well. We do not want any pet to go hungry.

Fur-Ever Friends of NC is thrilled to be partnering with Imprints Cares to bring our Paws In The House program to their afterschool programs throughout Forsyth County. We recently went to Moore Elementary School and meet 24 of their fantastic children. Stan, a past Rico medical fund recipient and his owner/our volunteer Marcia discussed pet safety, pet responsibility and watched Stan demonstrate his frisbee skills and hear his rescue story. Thanks you to Imprints Cares for inviting us and we look forward to bringing important animal welfare messages to these lovely children! Please let us know if you have a need for Paws In The House to come to your school, youth group, etc.

We would like to share with you some of our other RICO fund recipients. Thanks to three good samaritans and our RICO fund they were able to get the care they needed.

Charlie is a stray cat that a Good Samaritan took to the vet to treat his eye infection along with tapeworm.

Chica is a female pitbull who was dumped at a garage off of Waughtown Street. She is just a sweet bundle of joy that had a raging ear infection and the garage owner took her in and contacted us for assistance.

Lucy was found on an exit ramp, starving and with a broken leg. A Good Samaritan also took her in and together we got her the help she needed.

We are happy to report that all three of these precious babies are healing and recovering well. Thanks to our donors we are able to provide treatment to those who need our help. Please see the link below if you would like to donate to one of our funds.

In the month of September we were able to assist 20 pets with medical care totaling $3292.71. Thanks to you we were able to help!

Two Great Pyrenees puppies were taken in by an animal lover and asked for assistance from our RICO Fund to get them checked out by a vet. They were taken from an older couple who had let things “get out of hand”. Both the mother and father of these two precious pups were tied to a tractor while the puppies were in a filthy barn. Our Rico Medical Fund helped to get them vetted where they were diagnosed them with scabies, intestinal worms and mange. We are happy to report they are doing much better and that both the mother and father were released to a rescue where they are receiving the care they need. Thank you to our donors who make it possible for our foundation to help when emergencies like this arise. Without your support we are unable to provide to our community when they need it the most.

It's so hard to keep seeing the images of the vast destruction in Western Carolina. We all wish to do "something" and thanks to a compassionate and anonymous donor, Fur-Ever Friends of NC invites you to help us do "something" to ease the burden and stress being felt by our neighbors.
We invite you to participate until Friday, October 4th in a fundraiser to specifically help Sweet Bear Rescue Farm and Esther Neonatal Kitten Alliance. They are both in need of medical supplies and food and since thes rescues are located in the western part of the state, they have had their world's turned upside down. Please consider donating through our Paypal and our donor will match up to $500.00. Currently, cash is the best thing we can assist with due to the inability to access these places or you can donate directly to assist them in their greatest time of need. All we ask is that you donate and share our post. Let’s help our neighbors! Any amount is appreciated- $5.00, $25.00, $100.00.... We thank you for all that you do to help in whatever capacity you are able.

Help me spread the word about Fur-Ever Friends of North Carolina. Together we can make a difference.

In the wake of impending storms…. We urge you to not only plan for your own safety in an emergency but please don’t forget your pets during this time. Include them in your emergency plans should the need arise. We hope you along with your pets remain safe during these storms. Please share this with your loved ones…

The best way to protect your household from the effects of a disaster is to have a disaster plan. If you are a pet owner, that plan must include your pets.

Searching for your new pet can be a task when finding the right fit for your family. Our friends at the Bissell Pet Foundation want you to be knowledgeable of who you are getting your pet from.

September is National Puppy Mill Awareness Month! 🐶 🐾

Puppy mills are large-scale, unregulated, for-profit breeding operations. Puppies from puppy mills are often sick, unsocialized, and live in confined conditions. The adults are forced to breed and are discarded when they are no longer useful. Learn to recognize the red flags; together, we can make a difference and stop the suffering.

They are so thankful, their owners are so thankful and we are so thankful to provide help! Please consider a $25.00/month donation! It will truly make a difference!
